Perusing the latest argument about receiving certainly valid Sacraments brought up a question that I ponder from time to time. At what point does a reasonable person start to question whether Catholicism is actually true and not just a conglomeration of some "truths" bound up with a lot of human invention? I mean, it's pretty tough to see, on the practical level, that "[God] Who will have all men to be saved" would make it so improbable that any one person might be saved.
Anonymous in the hope (hopefully not a vain hope!) that honest, thoughtful responses might be proffered, instead of the all too typical knee jerk shut down posts.
I think many deep down wonder this. The only thing I can come up with is follow the Catholic rules pre Vatican 2 and listen to where God wants you in this Crisis. If you discern spirits properly, then you will be at peace.
This book was helpful to me.
